Chinese New Year respite: Shanghai Mansion
Take a tea break from the crowds at this super stylish boutique hotel smack in the middle of the action
Afternoon tea is held in Shanghai Mansion's Mi Jeu restaurant. There’s no denying Bangkok’s Yaowarat neighborhood -- aka Chinatown -- is the best place to welcome the Year of the Tiger this Sunday afternoon.
But be warned: Chinatown is going to be wretchedly full as everyone in the city, Chinese or not, descends on the already chaotic neighborhood to check out the Chinese New Year festivities. (Hungover? We’ve told you once before to stay far away.)
If you do decide to brave the crowds but need a break from the heat -- and chances are you will -- slip into the super stylish Shanghai Mansion boutique hotel's Cotton restaurant for afternoon tea from 2-5pm. Priced at 190 baht per person, the tea set includes a selection of pastries too.
